Several millennia ago, a powerful civilization named Mykene thrived in the Greek island of Bardos. To defend their island from invaders, they employed [[HumongousMecha metallic giants]] [[ChestBlaster that blasted tongues of fire from their chests]]. However, an earthquake destroyed their island and the Mykene disappeared. For a long while it was believed they perished right then, but it was false. In reality they were forced to seek shelter underground, and a lot of them grafted their heads into powerful mechanic bodies to survive. However they longed return to the surface again and getting the sunlight and air fresh and unpolluted water back.
Many centuries later, Dr. Hell and Dr. Kabuto conducted research on Bardos and through different means both of them reached the conclusion of that civilization was still alive. Dr. Hell decided allying himself with one them (which would be a [[Understatement bad move]]). Dr. Kabuto suspected the Mykene were preparing to return to the surface and take it back from humans and he decided taking precautions.
When his son and his daughter-in-law were mortally injured in a laboratory accident went awry, he turned his son into a cyborg to keep him alive and revealed to him his plans and his fears. Kenzo Kabuto agreed to work secretly to prevent the Mykene invasion.
